What this tool does
Reversing text is the quickest way to settle a palindrome argument, and it has a second use that is far less obvious: reading a paragraph backwards is a proofreading trick that works because it breaks the sentence flow your eye normally glides along, so typos that had gone unnoticed twenty times suddenly stand out. Characters are reversed exactly as stored, so accents stay attached to their letters.

Frequently asked questions
How do I check for a palindrome?
Reverse the text and compare it with the original. If they match once you ignore spaces, punctuation and capitals, it is a palindrome. "Never odd or even" is the classic example: reversed it reads "neve ro ddo reveN", which is the same letters in the same order once the spaces are set aside.
